About me

Hello Families, 


My name is AnaVictoria Galdamez (Vicky for short). I live with my teenage daughter, Isabella, and our dog, Pumpkin. In my free time I enjoy spending time with my family, watching sports, going to the beach, cooking and baking. I speak fluent English and Spanish.


 I've been working in early childhood education for over 15 years. I have always enjoyed being with and working around young children because every child is unique. They are all different in their own way and that’s what I find fascinating. When my daughter was born, I decided to change careers from being a Licensed Cosmetologist to an infant and toddler teacher. I started taking infant and toddler classes as well as working at Head Start where I found my passion for teaching young children. I’m working towards completing my degree in Early Childhood Education. 


After working with infants through preschoolers at places like Head Start, Bright Horizons, and TinyCare, I was finally able to realize my dream of opening my own daycare.  My teaching philosophy is a mixed Montessori and Reggio-Emilia inspired curriculum with a project-based approach. I believe children learn and develop through play.
